One more Thai insurance ad.
You Know You're a Graphic Designer When...
You have bags under your eyes so big you'd have to check them in at Heathrow Airport
You watch the superbowl just for the commercials
You can spot bad typography from 100 yds away
You are pro-facebook because 95% of the myspace accounts burn your retinas
You can name more than 200 fonts in under five minutes
You are completely immune to subliminal advertising
You look upon a well-designed project with either:
sympathy OR extreme jealousy
Your hand is permanently stuck in the shape of a mouse
(this is so true! haha)
You practically take caffeine intravenously
You have an appreciation for everything unique
You've been spending three days non-stop on a project and it still looks like shit. You
find yourself overcome by Deathlust.
"You know you're a Graphic Designer when... you buy a CD or DVD for the artwork, even
if you have no idea what the actual music or film is like". ( i buy anithing u name it that look artistic to me)
(even worse, you don't actually watch or listen to it, just stare at it for hours and hug it in
adoration)
"You know you're a Graphic Designer when... you look at the clock and see it's about
midnight and think 'I'll go to bed now'... and you actually go to bed about 2-3am".
(i seriously think my day seem to be dragging longer .)
"You know you're a Graphic Designer when... you need someone else to point out that
you're sitting in a room in front of the computer with all the lights off, and haven't
noticed"
"...when you know what "kerning" is and you really, really like it."
"... when you wear two [ke] [rn] pins on your bag, and only you know what the mean. To
others its probably a band of sorts.."
Forget the boy-wonder and the man of steel; your heroes have names like 'Tibor Kalman',
'Stefan Sagmeister', 'Paul Rand', and 'Paula Scher'.
i shall stop here...continue part 2 another day .

Bill Gates - “11 things you did not learn in school”
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!
Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in
school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with
no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish
something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-
president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Granparents had a different word for
burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess, up, It’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn
from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that
way from paying your bills, clearning your clothes and listening to you talk about how
cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of
your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some
schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as
you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to
ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t’ get summer off and very few employers
are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time…
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and
go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.
